Hockinson School District relies on local levies and bonds to supplement funding from the state. Earlier this year, district voters rejected a proposed bond that would have provided funding for a new elementary school to relieve overcrowding. Voters now have a chance again to provide the funding our students and teachers desperately need in the form of Hockinson School District Proposition 10, a Capital Levy for Safety, Security, and Infrastructure Improvements.
Proposition 10 would authorize a local levy to collect a total of $12.735 million over a six-year span, which would go towards the district’s Capital Projects Fund. The levy is estimated to cost homeowners between $0.66 (on the lowest end) and $0.69 (on the highest end) per $1,000 in assessed property value. This means that, at the upper end, the owner of an $800,000 home can expect to pay approximately $552 annually.
In Hockinson and school districts across the state, levies provide stop-gap funding to cover the basic needs of students. The district’s school board, which was recognized by the Washington State Directors’ Association last year for excellent leadership, adopted the levy measure in order to address desperate construction, repair, and modernization needs within our district’s learning environments.
Every student needs safe, modern, and well-resourced schools to meet their full potential. Vote Yes on Hockinson School District, Proposition 10 to ensure Hockinson schools can give all students the foundation they need to reach for successful, happy futures.
